DEFYING STEREOTYPES, EXCELING IN

NON-TRADITIONAL PROFESSIONS

In a world

where

gender

stereotypes

Dennise Gurmilan

often dictate

career

choices, three remarkable women, who are all

Southwestern College (SWC) alums, are challenging

norms and excelling in professions traditionally

dominated by men. Their journeys showcase the

transformative power of education, determination, and

breaking barriers.

Dennise Gurmilan, an Architecture & Planning

Professional at Gensler, vividly remembers her journey

at SWC. “Southwestern College was more than just an

academic institution to me; it is where I discovered a

career I wanted

to pursue,”

says Gurmilan.

Throughout her

time at SWC, she

found unwavering

support from the community, which inspired her

to give back. Today, Gurmilan is helping create

internships for SWC students, aiming to provide the

same opportunities she once received. Her dedication

to mentoring the next generation of architects speaks

volumes about the impact of her SWC experience.

Moreover, Gurmilan’s journey highlights the

importance of representation in non-traditional fields,

inspiring others to pursue their passions regardless of

societal expectations.
